B2B SaaS + HARDWARE MVP LIVE · 2026

THE PROBLEM

The nightclub cloakroom is the only analogue part of the night.

FOR THE USER

Queues, cash, tokens

  • 15–30 min of queuing at the start and end of the night
  • €2–5 in cash, with no receipt
  • A token to keep safe for 6 hours
  • Items mixed up or lost on the busiest nights

FOR THE VENUE OPERATOR

Staff and responsibility

  • 1–2 dedicated cloakroom staff
  • Cash to handle, count and safeguard
  • Complaints about lost or damaged belongings
  • A fixed area taken up even on quiet nights

OPPORTUNITY

Everything else is already digital

The user has paid for their ticket online, scanned the QR code at the entrance and orders drinks from their phone.

The cloakroom is the last step still offline. It is ready to be automated.

THE SOLUTION

One Cube.
20 compartments.
No waiting.

The user scans the QR code on the locker unit, books a compartment, pays with Stripe and opens it from their phone whenever they want — with FaceID, a fingerprint or a code.

01

Steel structure

Robust, break-in-resistant locker unit made from painted sheet metal. Wall-anchored or freestanding.

02

12V electric lock

A 12V electromagnetic lock on each door. It opens on command from the app and locks again automatically.

03

Controller (Raspberry Pi)

A Raspberry Pi powered by 12V manages everything: it receives commands over the internet and forwards them to the locks. Cost ~€60.

04

4G/LTE connection

A modem with a dedicated SIM: the locker unit works independently of the venue's WiFi, always online.

05

Single 12V power supply

A single mains power supply provides 12V to everything: locks, controller and LEDs. No batteries.

06

Front LED for each compartment

A coloured LED shows the status at a glance: green = free, red = booked, blue = in use, yellow = maintenance.

ACCESS IN 1 TAP

2 seconds from
a tap to an open compartment.

The user opens the link, places a finger on the sensor or their face in front of the camera, and is in within 2 seconds. The biometric passkey replaces the entire email/SMS flow: no codes to enter, no need to leave the app.

COMPETITION

Validated abroad. A gap in Italy.

The smart-locker model for events is proven in the UK, USA, France and Belgium. Italy only has tourist luggage storage (Kutu, Bagbnb), not event lockers.

LOCAL ADVANTAGE

Software already in place, knowledge of the Italian nightlife market and scope to experiment with partner clubs without corporate overhead.
